Sam & Kate Review: A Heartwarming Dramedy with a Standout Cast

Sam & Kate is a new drama-comedy feature film from director Darren Le Gallo that stars Jake Hoffman (The Wolf of Wall Street), Schuyler Fisk (Castle Rock), Dustin Hoffman (The Graduate, Rain Man), Sissy Spacek (Carrie), and Henry Thomas (E.T. the Extraterrestrial, The Haunting of Hill House). The film follows father-and-son duo Sam and Bill (played by the Hoffmans), who live together and have a close relationship that often has them both stuck in their own ways, even as Sam takes care of Bill through a myriad of health issues. In an accidental meeting, the two come upon Kate (Fisk) and Tina (Spacek), a mother and daughter who are also sessile in their own lives. Through new friendships, the four find themselves learning new paths in their lives, and unlocking emotions that have been tucked away for years.
